- Sentinel-2 satellite imagery coverage degraded over the Red Sea — as the U.S. and EU continue strikes on Houthis.

- European Commission tells Hunterbrook Media that service disruptions may be in line with “applicable regulations and operational considerations.”

- The U.S. recently accused a Chinese company of providing satellite imagery that is helping Houthis target American warships. An expert tells Hunterbrook that EU coverage gaps may be designed to prevent similar attacks.

It's an academic difference. The additional defensive cover from EU ships allows US and UK to bomb more with the same amount of $$$.

So due to EU presence, more Houthis get bombed.

as the U.S. and EU continue strikes on Houthis.

The EU strikes against Houthis? As far as I know EU ships only patrol the red sea and shoot down incoming missiles or drones, while the US and UK are actually striking against Yemen? Did I miss something?
